@avsthiago i got an error in 'nlines = lines.size.shape[0]', it says 'int' object has no attribute 'shape'

me too i got an error in 'nlines = lines.size.shape[0]', it says 'int' object has no attribute 'shape'

me too i got an error in 'nlines = lines.size.shape[0]', it says 'int' object has no attribute 'shape'

For those that are getting the error in 'nlines = lines.size.shape[0]', it says 'int' object has no attribute 'shape'.
You can resolve this issue by changing it to 'nlines = lines.shape[0]'
